well in addition to timg, our guy at DN, whoever built (c'mon hyzerhook, you built this didn't you?) this simulator.... that totals THREE competent developers in all of disc golf. we're moving up!!

great foundation. all my questions on this get into proprietary info, so i won't even ask. having chased this exact application before (actually pretty close on a few of the things going on with rendering) i think it's a very well-done piece of work. dynamically-rendered flight paths based on flight numbers. no complications. flat optimum throw data comparison.. good stuff.

The lines are charted dynamically using a formula that builds it based on the flight ratings.

Sorry i don't think i passed enough gas to call the shots i took wind tunnel measurements Jhern Reliable? Who knows?

Flat shots need running on the center line of the tee and planting each step on the center line. Anhyzer needs running from rear right to front left with the plant step hitting the ground to the left of the line you're running on. Hyzer is the mirror of that.

Wouldn't distance potential/speed be better determined by a disc's rim width? For example, the simulator shows the speed 14 King (2.3cm rim) flying further than the speed 13 Boss (2.5cm rim). I like my Kings but Bosses are faster and are consistantly longer for me.

I used speed and glide to determine distance potential. I suppose there are other ways to do it, such as using the rim width, or calculating that the high speed turn would add some distance. It is also possible that Westside doesn't use exactly the same criteria as Innova when determining their flight ratings.

In any case, it is much easier for me to use the provided disc ratings than to find the rim width of every disc.
